While glass bottles have long been subject to a deposit in Germany, there is still no nationwide deposit system for glass in neighbouring France. That could change. A pilot scheme is currently being trialled in four regions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In four regions in the north and west of France, a deposit can now be charged on two glass bottle models, according to French media reports. Other bottles and screw-top jars are to be added at a later date. Several large supermarket chains are involved in the project<\/strong>, which is being carried out in the Pays de la Loire, Brittany, Normandy and the Hauts-de-France region and is scheduled to last a year and a half. Around 16 million people live in these regions.<\/p>\n

Unlike in Germany, there is no large deposit system in France. Only at individual retailers or in local initiatives<\/strong> bottles are used.<\/p>

Up until the early 1990s, deposits were quite common in France too, for example on milk bottles. But the Increasing use of disposable plastic<\/strong> was one reason for the end of the bottle deposit. One exception to this is Alsace, where deposit bottles are still used and there are also deposit machines in supermarkets.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"France launches a pilot scheme for glass deposits in four regions in the north and west of the country.","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":81270,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","rank_math_description":"Frankreich beginnt in vier Regionen im Norden und Westen des Landes einen Modellversuch zum Glaspfand.
